Sorry to hear your marriage to a muslim has left you with scars Clemmie. But i have to defend my marriage to a muslim man. I have been married for 17yrs, yes we have had our ups and downs but no more than any other marriage. For the whole of this marriage we have lived in Turkey.

I have not converted to muslim, never wanted to and my husband has never asked me to. Yes, of course there were cultural differences in the beginning but with hard work, understanding and patience on both sides and of course the ability to compromise, i can honestly say i am happy in this marriage. There is good and bad in all races and religions. I ask who ever reads this to please not generalize when reading articles like Clemmie's. T

o advise people to not marry Muslims is wrong, because of their bad experience. Just because they are Muslim does not make them all bad husbands. My husband is not only a good husband but a fantastic father. Any marriage is not easy, just when its a marriage between two from very different cultural backgrounds its a little more hard work and requires respect from both parties. I love my Muslim husband.
